A Justice ON Criminal case..

Judge George c. Barrett, before whom are
brought many Of the great criminal cases in
this city, said recently that he found the trial
OF an important criminal OF intense interest.
tNothing is more fascinating,n he said, "thaii

people in such trials than in the adjudication
Of civil cases and the adjustment Of merely

her head to the soles Of her feet was a mass OF decay,
masses OF flesh rotting off and leaving great cavities.
Her fingers festered and three or four nails dropped
of at one time. Her limbs contracted by the fearful
liberation, and for several years she did not leave
her bed. Her weight was reduced from 1876 to 60 lbs.
Perhaps some faint idea OF her condition can be
CLEANED from the fact that three pounds OF Cosino-

sores. Finally the physicians acknowledged their
defeat by this Black Wolf, and commended the suf-
ferer to her aii-wise Creator.

The telegraph bureau is under the depart
ment of public works, of which Gen. Carlos
Pacheco Is the minister. Saturnino Islas is
general telegraphic manager.
Gen. Pachico is a most gallant soldier. He
has been shot all to pieces, and is unable to
walk without crutches. He Is not only a gal
liant soldier but a liberal minded statesman,
and q friend Of every sort of enterprise. Two
years ago the minister conceived that it
would be well to reform the telegraph SER
vice. This service has become filed with
minor politicians. Its battery room was a
sight to behold; its Instruments were anti
quated: Its operators "loafed" most of the
time, and when they did send messages they
usually missent them. 1t was not at all IN
usual for a message to be ten days in transit.
The lines themselves were In a terrible con-
dition. When Mr.. Islas took charge of the
system he found thai $4,000 poles were pros,
trate. Some small, local Offices were sup
porting five Or SIX operators apiece, and some
large and important offices had no staff at all
to speak of. The government had expended
millions in the wires and in salaries, but the
whole thing was a miserable failure. AS soon
as Minister Pacheco decided upon the reor-
ganization of the service, he cast about him
for q man to take charge of it. He has never

They Will Prevent All but Peaceful
Revolutions in Future.
The days Of revolution in Mexico are prac-
tically at an end. Do you wonder why the
assertion can be made SO emphaticallyf 1t is
because railway and telegraphic lines have
been stretched like a network across the fair
face Of our southern neighbor. In the days
gone by 1t WIS quite impossible for the minis
ter of war to communicate with the distant
provinces Of Mexico inside of a number Of
days, sometimes weeks. Now it is different.
Not only cen he communicate rapidly, but
lines of steel rails radiate in every direction
from the capital, and strong, throbbing loco
motives are ready to convey troops to the
most distant places at a moments notice.
How different it is from the time, not so many
years ago, when ~couriers riding day and night
occupied twenty days in traversing the coun-
try between the Rio Grande and the City of
Mexico!
But, after all, the day of revolution in
Mexico has not passed, for the peaceful revo-
luton now in progress through the agency
of the wires and railways is the most import
ant one in the history of that country.
